Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The South Alum Creek Neighborhood Plan is the second in a series of three south side plans that, collectively, will cover the area generally bounded by State Route 104 to the north, U.S. 33 to the east, Interstate 270 to the south, and the Scioto River to the west.
Roughly half of the planning area has been developed with heavy industrial and manufacturing uses. The area also contains several large neighborhoods (Alum Crest Acres, Madison Mills, Williams Creek, Valley Green, and Alum Creek Village) and Three Creeks Park (the city's largest metro park), which accounts for almost one-third of the planning area's 2700 acres. Primary thoroughfares within the planning area include Alum Creek Drive, Williams Road, Watkins Road, Spangler Road, and Performance Drive.
The planning process was launched in September of 2003. A working committee consisting of neighborhood residents, business representatives, and local civic leaders met during the subsequent months to discuss issues, formulate goals, and develop a series of recommendations. During the winter months, the outcomes of the committee meetings (goals and recommendations) were compiled by the Planning Division and assembled into a draft plan. The plan was then submitted to city staff for review and comment. A second draft was prepared and subsequently presented to residents, neighborhood groups, and the Council of South Side Organizations. Additional public comment was solicited at an Open House on September 1st, 2004, and the feedback was incorporated into the final draft. The Development Commission reviewed the plan on September 23rd and unanimously voted to recommend adoption.
